“The faithful will gather here this week as Hewlett-Packard Co.,
Palo Alto, Calif., presents HP World ’99, one of the last of the
annual summer vendor conferences.”
“…HP World will offer a new track dedicated to Linux and
related technologies for the first time.”
“All of this, however, will take place amid a level of
uncertainty that surrounds the HP community. VARs attending the
event will want to learn about HP’s official position and
commitment to the Merced family of microprocessors; details on how
HP will respond to competitive challenges from IBM Corp., Dell
Computer Corp. and Compaq in PCs and Intel-based servers; and what
HP has decided to do to reclaim responsibility for Unix-server
product distribution.”
